MYTEC Home Vise 2.5" Black Clamp-On Vise - Perfect for Home Projects and Crafts

Deamon054: My crafty woman loves this thing lol
This vise was absolutely perfect addition to my wife's crafting desk. No more cursing when she's cutting little wood sticks :) And it pivots, and it's sturdy as heck; once screwed in the clamping power is great.
The package was beat to heck when we got it (I blame the fact that it's a heavy metal object loose in a cardboard box, not the Seller. the vise should be trapped in packing, then put in a box. Like a printer.)
Solid, versatile, compact yet powerful. And the price was right. I don't even wanna know how much they wanted for this thing at the box store.
Very pleased with my purchase.

Hummingbirds: This is a very sturdy and well made bench vice. It swivels, and is so versatile, we just love it! Also lvoe the fact that you can either make it permanent by screwing it down, or just use the clamp to attach it. Because it would be in the way on our workbench, we just clamp it on whenever we need to use it. Highly recommend!!

Amazon Customer: Perhaps a little small, do not buy if it is required for larger jobs.

Jeff Przylucki: Purchased this vise to have something to slip on to my portable workbench when needed. I was taking on a project to re-grip my golf clubs, and that was the final straw to make this purchase, as I'd had other times where it would've been helpful to have a small vise around. This worked great to hold my clubs (with the use of a shaft clamp so I didn't damage them) while I cut and pulled and pushed to get old grips off and new ones on. Exactly what I needed, and it is small enough for me to take off of my portable workbench and put away, and simple enough to pull out and mount. It was solid the whole way.

The only nitpicks were that the little protective sleeves that were provided to sit on the vise arms didn't fit too solidly/neatly.. they were prone to slide off more than I would've wanted, but it was not a huge deal.. also the locking mechanism that locked the vise from rotating wasn't always super secure, but I had to pull/push pretty hard to cause it to rotate un-necessarily.

Overall very very happy with this purchase. I got through my club re-gripping thanks to this, and I know I will have plenty of future use for it.

Ventura D: This vise does everything that I wanted. The rotation feature is much more useful than I had anticipated. Rotation is smooth and the lock is secure. I haven't yet found a need for the small, flat anvil surface on the moveable jaw yet though. The plastic pads for the jaw surfaces are essential if you are doing fine work like jewelry or building models. Those pads don't fit tight, but they are OK and functional. The big D-shaped pad for the bottom of the cast jaws portion won't hold without adhesive. I secured it using double-stick Scotch tape. The circular pad for the screw at the bottom does snap on and stay by itself.

If you appreciate well made tools, you will understand what I mean by cute. The cast metal portions are finished well, with no sharp edges on the outside (inside the jaw area where you shouldn't put your fingers does have some sharp edges). Handles and jaw screw are well-finished.

Amazon didn't pack it well for shipping. The vise comes in a small cardboard box with no support material inside. Amazon just put that box in a plastic envelope and tossed it onto the concrete some distance from my front door. The vise had slipped through the bottom of its...

MW: Despite the negative reviews, I have been pleasantly surprised with this little desk vice. Being a more or less unknown brand from China, you never can be sure what you're going to get. Or when for that matter. So after a fair amount of thought, I decided to risk it and ordered the 2.5 inch vice.
The first thing to note about this vice is that is a light duty vice. A simple look at it clearly shows that it is in no way suitable as a workshop vice for serious work like sawing wood or anything of that nature. No, this is best suited for lighter crafting type work. It holds light objects in place while you work on them. Some light filing or cutting for modelling or similar activities. The included rubber jaw covers indicate that this is what the manufacturer intends also.
Out the box you are immediately are presented with not only the vice, but the included rubber accessories. These take the form of one pair of soft jaw covers and rubber covers for the clamp. I recommend installing all of there straight away before they are lost. There is no point in waiting until you think you need them, because you will, definitely. They are easily removed again if necessary.
The next job...
